Chapter 4
Olympus
January 8th 2012
12:30 EST.
Normally, people would be coming and going through the Olympus gate every hour or so, but today no one had to. Olympus was being moved from its temporary ocean view home, to the new Industrial area on the far side of the planet. Normally Olympus would have to, reach orbit wait for twelve hours and then lower itself back into the atmosphere and land. But with Janus at the wheel, he was simply going to fly the city around the planet.
Janus was already in the Neural Interface chair. He was checking power levels and making sure the systems needed were online and functioning properly. As he would be moving the city so fast, the inertial dampeners had to be fully powered, the shield had to be strong enough to withstand any wildlife collision and the engines had to be powerful enough to allow the city to remain several hundred feet off of the ground while not causing an overload in the power grid or depleting all three Potentia. But Janus had run the numbers and run seven diagnostics. It all seemed fine.
Janus uses his telepathy to activate the city's intercom.
"Attention all personnel, stand by for project relocation." Janus says to mid air. 'Project Relocation' was the name General Jack O'Neill had called the moving of Olympus to the new landing site. Janus had found it funny and adequately correct. So he had adopted it. The Lantean closes his eyes and a quite humming begins. Olympus slowly begins to lift off from the oceans surface. As the city reaches a height that Janus was comfortable with, he slowly begins to move the city across the planet.

O'Neill was piloting one of the many Jumpers Olympus carried. He had chosen to follow the city in the Jumper so he could get what he called 'The Cinematic Effect'. This way he could watch the city the entire journey and not have to be with the other representatives looking on with the hundreds of civilian scientists from all Alliance members that would be controlling each races assigned facilities and factories in the valley.
It would be boring watching the city fly several thousand miles, but it was better than talking politics with the Tok'ra or Tollan. He didn't hate either of them, but his trust in them had been strained from past events. The Tok'ra hadn't really done anything to merit his mistrust in them, but the most annoying thing they had done was keep the fact that they could track almost every Gou'ld vessel a secret during the height of the war. The Tollan on the other hand had tried to wipe out Earth completely.
The Jumper continues to follow the massive City/Ship staying far enough away so that Jack could see the entire thing through the window. It was a sight to behold. A large shining silver city flying above the ocean protected by its silver bubble of a shield.
He was amazed that Earth was untied and building a space fleet. While having a large army, they had no off world outposts or facilities to protect. The few set up by the SGC already had UTSF personnel so the army wasn't needed. Until the first off world colony on Centauri Three was built, the army would need to remain on Earth and attend to keeping world peace. Janus had already promised to build a Lantean based city on Centauri Three as soon as the Shipyards and Factories were complete.

The City/Ship Olympus is making its final approach to her new home. The city hovers over the adequately sized artificial lake and its slowly begins to descend onto the water. As the shield reaches the water, the water height increases as the city begins to rest of its surface. A built in safety feature activates and begins to drain the unneeded amount of water into underground storage tanks. As the city rests, the shield is lowered and the many walkways and cargo halls move from the sides of the dam and connect to the city. Cheers fill the crowd of scientists as the city makes its last connection and all of the outlying factories and shipyard come to life. Even though each of the facilities are powered by Naquadah fusion generators, Janus thought it would be a good symbol.
Janus sits up and powers down the control chair. He stands and is beamed out after pressing his small jewelled bracelet. He reappears on the balcony with the Alliance members stood talking. Some were looking out across the grassland valley and others were looking up and Olympus that was causing the darkening sky to glisten. Janus looks over to General O'Neill of the Tau'ri. Jack had just landed his Puddle Jumper on one of the many landing pads along the dam. He was looking at his watch thinking that the time was wrong when he realised he was off world. Olympus was nearly five hours ahead which meant that it was around 20:50 Olympus time. Janus smiles to himself when he sees the look of realisation on Jacks face. Janus is then approached by Warrick and Teal'c.
"Teal'c, Warrick, what can I do for you?" Janus asks them both.
"Well, we would just like to discuss the technologies you have promised and those that you have provided here." Warrick says indicating the many factories that could been seen at different depths in the distance.
"Of course. What is it you wish to talk about?" Janus asks politely.
"As you indeed know, the Jaffa Federation has had a decline in resources ever since its inception. We have had miners and farmers abandoning their workstations and migrating to Chulak with the hope of a better life. We desperately need the food that your synthesisers can provide. How soon will we be able to use these facilities?" Teal'c asks ashamed to admit that he had somewhat failed as the Federations leader.
"As soon as the sun rises. Alliance members with larger populations will be allotted more food synthesisers. The Tok'ra and Hebridan have no need for them while the Tau'ri are constructing their own elsewhere. The Jaffa Federation will have access to thirty out of the forty here. As for the material synthesisers, they will be shared equally as will the shipyards and other factories." Janus smiles noticing the delight on the Jaffa leaders face.
"That is most excellent." Teal'c smiles unable to contain his happiness.
"That is good news, but I was wondering about when these technological marvels would spread to our home worlds or industrial bases." Warrick says looking from Janus to Teal'c.
"Well, as I have said, our teachers will be sent to your home world and begin preparing you for their construction. You will build them yourselves with our help. We will not simply give these advances to you." Janus says looking at the Hebridan.
"I understand, but as you well enough know time is short and we must do all we can to accelerate the war efforts." Warrick says looking between the two again.
"Yes, I know. But I can't simply give you the technology. You must learn how to use it efficiently and how to understand its construction. That is why, my teachers will be providing your scientists with neural downloads. So you learn faster than you normally would. In a year you will have all the knowledge I wish you to have and you will have begun experimenting with our knowledge." Janus says looking between Warrick and Teal'c.
"I do apologise, the senate has been sending me requests ever since they heard of your return." Warrick says lowering his head.
"It is alright. I understand." Janus smiles.
Chulak, Centre of the Jaffa Federation
January 8th 2012
15:50 EST.
Teal'c was sat at a large stone table in the middle of a stone grey room lit by podiums housing burning embers from fires not long diminished. Several of the podiums still retained their flames unlike their brothers. The Jaffa Leader was looking over the plans and designs for the new Jaffa Citadel being built across the valley from the stone city built by Apophis.
The Lantean/Gou'ld decorated room. It had the sleek lines and Spartan colours known to be used by the Ancients while boasting Gou'ld inspired Columns and flooring. The technologies and ideas provided by Earth and Janus were being used by the Jaffa to help improve their worlds and their current level of technological understanding.
Already Chulak had been completely transformed into a sprawling citadel for the Jaffa Federation. The Lantean/Gou'ld city would not be completed for a few months, so Teal'c had but already released several of the technologies that would be present in the new city to the public of Chulak.
The original stone city that had been built by Apophis to house his main Jaffa armies, was to be completely abandoned in favour of the new Lantean/Greek/Gou'ld designed city. The city had some resemblance to Atlantis but with many more lower level buildings suck as barracks and landing pads.
Teal'c already had plans to tear down the Stone city and replace it with a large monument complex. The monument was going to be in memory of their gained freedom from Gou'ld suppression. It seemed only fitting to Teal'c that Chulak house such a monument as it was where the Rebellion began.
The new city was to be protected by shields comparable to Atlantis herself. The shields were powered by 5 out of the 15 Fusion reactors from Janus that together could easily match the output of three ZPM's. As well as anti-orbital cannons and anti-fighter guns for the city's defence coupled with the 5 Death Glider (Nine to a squad) and 3 Al'kesh (Three to a squad) squadrons constantly on patrol. Including the reserve 10 Death Gliders and 5 Al'kesh squads.
They would easily be capable to defending the city if the guardian fleet of three Gerrik class Ha'Ka'Tak (Pronounced Ha'Kay'Tak) and twelve upgraded Ha'tak mother ships had to be called away. A similar feat of construction was being undertaken on the planet Keota. This world was fast becoming the main Jaffa shipbuilding and industrial centre.
Keota was located several systems away from Chulak it had an abundance of resources that the Gou'ld never exploited because it had no stargate. Keota had quickly been found by the Jaffa search parties thanks to the new Lantean sensors.
The planet has high concentrations of Naquadah, Trinium and Neutronium. All three element were highly sought after by different factions in the Alliance. The Tollan needed Trinium, the Tok'ra and Jaffa were seeking Naquadah while Janus needed more and more Neutronium for the Lantean technologies that required large amounts of the element.
Even though Janus and Earth had material synthesisers in the form of Universal Constructors, they still needed power to use the devices. Even though that was quickly being taken care of as more and more ZPM facilities became operational within Earth controlled space.
Luckily for the Jaffa, Tok'ra, Tollan and Hebridan they all had access to the Universal Construction factories on Olympus. These factories were powered by the combination of ZPM's and Naquadah fusion power planets.
In fact until the mines were finished and began refinement, a large chunk of the Jaffa Federations supplies were coming from Olympus. While the Jaffa had mining sites, they were mostly dried up by the Gou'ld or they previously didn't have the technology to reach deeper deposits.
But because of Janus, several main mining planets across the Federation had begun to receive new mining technologies. Again like Keota, many of these technologies took time to build and power. But the estimations were that three out of the seven major mining worlds would begin providing refined Naquadah that was heading straight to Keota for the shipyards and weapons factories.
This news that Keota was beginning production of ships and weapons, made Teal'c feel proud that his people were becoming self-sustainable. Soon they would have no need for the raw materials provided by Olympus, they would have highly efficient mining operations across the galaxy and their ships would be numerous.
While the raw material decline was being countered, so to was the food supply problem but at a lesser pace. Technology like Universal Constructors were considered to advanced for all races apart from the Tau'ri. Instead Janus had provided the Jaffa with Protein Re-sequencers and massive artificially controlled environment farming domes. The Protein Re-sequencers were easily manufactured by Olympus and they were quickly spreading throughout the Jaffa Federation. While the Farming domes were large and took time to construct.
Only three Farming Domes had been completed and were on Keota. With accelerated growth, perfect weather control and artificially controlled nutrient control, the harvests would be quick and plentiful for the coming years. Teal'c would continue to look over the designs and reports from all over the Jaffa Federation for several more hours.
P2X-9D1, inner core of the Milky Way Galaxy
January 8th 2012
16:25 EST.
P2X-9D1 is a forest world located close to the core of the Milky Way galaxy. The planet has seems peaceful and untouched, but there is a hidden valley that was once an Ancient Factory site. The Cloak protects all that's within the Valley from being detected. Several building litter the thick forest floor of the large valley.
Within the central building, power being to activate the long dormant systems. The dark rooms flicker to life as the power is restored. Deep within this building a room containing a Stasis Pod begins to light up. The pod contains a muscular man with Asian ethnic distinction who has jet black hair that contains streaks of grey, his red tunic and trousers with gold, white and green inlay depicting dragons and flowers fits his figure comfortably with plenty of breathing room.
The only light in the room is from the Stasis pod and the few systems needed to power it. But as the power reaches the consoles the room becomes brighter and easier to see. The Stasis pod begins to revive its sole occupant as the power is now available. As the pod finishes reviving him, he falls forward and slams into the cold flooring hard.
The lights begin to increase in intensity and now more of the dark room can be seen. The red and gold Spartan style décor indicates that this is indeed Ancient in origin. A large stand holding this persons armour and his sword obviously doesn't belong with the Spartan décor. The gold and red coloured armour stands in sections. The breastplate depicting two gold dragons fighting on the red background.
The Man begins to awaken. He slowly rises to his feet. His silk robes shining in the light. He looks around the room. His eyes shoot towards his perfectly laid armour. Untouched since he placed it there over 2,000 years ago. The man approaches the closest workstation and presses one of the crystals.
"Greetings Lingbao Tianzun. You have been revived at the specified time." A female sounding voice says from the air. This was the buildings internal computer system's voice.
"Activate the Stargate and begin the update process. I wish to travel." Lingbao says to the air. As he moved towards his armour.
"As you wish, once you have left I will await your signal through the gate to allow you access." The computer replies before carrying out its instructions. Lingbao touches his solid armour and begins to change into it by placing the shin guards on.
Chulak, Milky Way Galaxy
January 8th 2012
17:00 EST.
Teal'c was sat in his office looking at the reports from all over the Federation. Behind him the massive window shows large metal spires and thick towers being built on the opposite side of the valley. The light from the morning sun refracting off the metal and glass illuminating the surrounding towers that had not yet received light from the warm sun. The Metropolis was being built as a replacement for the Stone city created by Apophis.
A thundering knock on the large metal doors causes Teal'c to look up from the arranged papers.
"Enter." Teal'c says looking towards the door. The two doors burst open to reveal Rya'c.
"Father, we have a guest here to visit Apophis. He still retains the right of System Lord and wishes to see the False god." Rya'c says angered.
"Bring him to me." Teal'c says puzzled.
"As you wish." Rya'c bows and leaves the room for a minutes before bringing in Lingbao. His red and gold armour glistening from the fires in the room. Lingbao approaches Teal'c holding himself tall and proud. As he steps into the small amount of sun light in the room, the gold on his armour glitters and causes the light to dance around the room.
"Greetings Apophis. I am Lingbao of the System Lords. I am puzzled as to why you reside within a Jaffa." Lingbao says looking at the aging Jaffa.
"I am not Apophis." Teal'c says plainly.
"Ah so you are you masters first prime." Lingbao says with some spite.
"No, the false gods that are the Gou'ld are no more. We have slain all Gou'ld and now the Jaffa are united in the Federation." Teal'c says looking the strange Gou'ld up and down.
"Ah, this pleases me. I am of the Tok'ra. I am Prime. I have been away for two thousand years and now I have returned to find my mission completed by the Jaffa." Lingbao bows in respect.
"How are you of the Tok'ra? How are you Prime?" Teal'c asks confused by Lingbao's claims.
"Myself and my two brothers, Yuanshi Tianzun and Daode Tianzun founded the Tok'ra ideal." Lingbao says looking at the Jaffa.
"How is this possible?" Teal'c asks.
"We left the Gou'ld system lords when Ra was supreme. We decided to try and end his empire and the Gou'ld ways. We failed and were defeated in the process. We left for space to try and learn from our mistakes. Our only option was to enter stasis and try again after time when the Gou'ld had forgotten about us." Lingbao says looking at the Jaffa.
"Then you know nothing of the Tok'ra Protectorate or the Tau'ri." Teal'c realises.
"You must come with me to Olympus, I will convene the council." Teal'c says before Lingbao can say a word.
Well, I hope you all enjoyed it :D The next chapter will shed more light on Lingbao and his brothers. R&R and tip your waitresses. - Spearhead
